How's the Reconquista going?

Pretty well according to La Shawn Barber. She links to this amazing story which reports that the Mexican Foreign Secretary, Luis Ernesto Derbez, said "Mexico is working with lawyers in Los Angeles to outline a legal challenge to the Minuteman project."

You know, the Minute Man Project, which plans to send volunteers out to the US/Mexico border to spot illegal immigrants and report them to the US Border Patrol. Hmmm, the Mexican government is planning to sue US citizens walking around in their own country reporting illegal activity. What the ????

La Shawn also has an interview with a Minute Man Project volunteer. I really fear for these volunteers. Sure, a lot of these illegal border crossers will be wannabe fruit pickers and day laborers, but some will surely be drug smugglers and violent criminals They could even encounter terrorists. I hope they're carrying video cameras along with their weapons. If volunteers are required to defend themselves, I'm sure this PC administration will thrown the book at them, rather than admit there is a problem with criminals crossing the border.
